I have many happy memories of playing Risk (and other games, even Monopoly) with my parents and of playing D&D (a lot of D&D) with friends after school.<p></p><p>Work and life got in the way of gaming for a few years, until I read about Carcassonne. My wife encouraged me to ‘try it out’ by going to Beyond Monopoly! a gaming club where I live in York. It rekindled my love of playing games.</p><p>I started a weekly games night with friends (and friends of friends)… and through Beyond Monopoly!, I came across this nice chap, Jack, who was looking for someone to help playtest his game.</p><p>I’d won the lottery, of sorts. Suddenly, my life was busy with a lot of gaming and I found that I genuinely enjoyed playtesting and developing games.</p><p>But even more suddenly, I became ill with Limbic Encephalitis. I had to give up work, and my memories of the previous day would vanish overnight. But I had amazing gaming friends, who would still come round for games night, and patiently reteach me the rules of a game I’d learnt the week before. And in time I recovered, retrained for a new career, and got a job as a teacher.</p><p>Then I changed jobs from teaching to working on a project to help teachers teach computing. And of course, those weekly games nights continued.</p><p>Throughout it all, I remained friends with Jack... even after he moved away from York. In fact, we’d spend perhaps even more time together, staying for the weekend with our families at each other’s houses. We would stay up late… long, long after the children had gone to bed, playing games and playtesting.</p><p>It was one such weekend visiting Jack, that I had an idea for a game. Inspired by a game the night before, which had promised so much but never quite made it for me. Jack and I talked it through, designed it together, and <a href="https://eurydicegames.co.uk/games/flickfleet/">FlickFleet</a> was born.</p><p>I won the lottery, of sorts, again when Jack asked me to join <a href="https://eurydicegames.co.uk/">Eurydice Games</a>. No longer on the sidelines, playtesting for him, but instead a partner with him in our games company. </p><p>We endured a nail-biting 4 weeks for our first Kickstarter and just managed to fund. And suddenly there I was, with a laser cutter in my garage which I needed to learn to use.</p><p>We had more successful Kickstarters. I was balancing the laser cutting, and bagging of components, around my day job. But it was getting harder to fit it all in.</p><p>And then I won the lottery, of sorts, yet again. The contract for the project I was working on ended. But Jack and I calculated that Eurydice Games could pay me just enough that I could focus on manufacturing games… and my wife was OK with the drop in our household income.</p><p>And I love it… the manufacturing, the playtesting, the demoing at events, even the packaging and posting. I get to do my dream job.</p><p>I’m so lucky to be here, doing this.</p>Jackson Popehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12685562784078130612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988030.post-24034780217254863392024-02-19T08:30:00.003+00:002024-02-19T08:30:00.348+00:00Origin: Jack<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhun5Gb4YDPUArEYi7XrcpO4l_k0l8_Ya9fGgLWFuqSiEtdoHmoVNRdnP1KBRQO61MYxmzX_HMamnpOiEnspY4oWnWs7vd3FasaiKld2u5MWkQt9unVer3HZ8v9VnCPVKzy0EVx2BcpiKSiDfIMoZQa7VOhZIzJBoeWbd3FM3tse1VzxxuCuchJQA/s1935/me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1935" data-original-width="1164" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhun5Gb4YDPUArEYi7XrcpO4l_k0l8_Ya9fGgLWFuqSiEtdoHmoVNRdnP1KBRQO61MYxmzX_HMamnpOiEnspY4oWnWs7vd3FasaiKld2u5MWkQt9unVer3HZ8v9VnCPVKzy0EVx2BcpiKSiDfIMoZQa7VOhZIzJBoeWbd3FM3tse1VzxxuCuchJQA/s320/me.jpg" width="192" /></a></div><br /><p>I’ve always made games.</p><p>It started out as board games as a kid.</p><p>Then for a long time bits of computer games.</p><p>Then I had an epiphany.</p><p>Playing <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/52/mighty-empires">Mighty Empires</a>. With Dunc and Tim. The best men at my wedding.</p><p>We played all weekend. Like 36 hours all weekend. Stopping only to sleep and eat.</p><p>A random event took the winner from 1st to 3rd place. He didn’t recover for the remaining 12 hours.</p><p>Then we ran out of time. And stopped.</p><p>“I can do better,” I thought.</p><p>So I did. <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23920/border-reivers">Border Reivers</a>. Took 20-45 mins to play.</p><p>Similar feel. Could be pretty swingy.</p><p>It sat unloved on a shelf for a couple of years.</p><p>Then I made 100 copies by hand.</p><p>And sold them all over the world.</p><p>Yehuda Berlinger sent me a game which I published as <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28396/its-alive">It’s Alive!</a></p><p>I made 300 copies by hand.</p><p>Sold them all over the world.</p><p>Then I won the lottery. Of sorts.</p><p>I got <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/multiple-sclerosis/">MS</a>. My life insurance paid out. We paid off most of the mortgage on our tiny flat, and I went full time.</p><p>At times it was glorious. I made four games. Three professionally in factories. I had distribution on three continents. Sold thousands of games. Went to <a href="https://spiel-essen.de/en">Essen</a> twice and the first three <a href="https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/">UK Games Expos</a>.</p><p>At times it was grim. The MS caused vision problems and I couldn’t drive for a while. It caused incredible fatigue. New symptoms every few months. I was glad I didn’t have a day job. And, once the 2009 financial crash hit, I watched my company die by a thousand cuts as overheads far outweighed sales.</p><p>Then I won the lottery again. Of sorts. I managed to get on a clinical trial for a new MS treatment. My MS has been in remission for fourteen years. Years!</p><p>I’m so lucky.</p><p>Three months after shutting down Reiver Games I started designing games again.</p><p>Then I co-founded Newcastle Playtest.</p><p>We played <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/186694/zombology">Zombology</a> every month for <i>years</i>.</p><p>I decided to start another company to publish a small hand-made run of that.</p><p><a href="https://www.eurydicegames.co.uk">Eurydice Games</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurydice">Don’t look back</a>.</p><p>Then Paul had the idea for <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/248878/flickfleet">FlickFleet</a>.</p><p>We designed it together. He joined Eurydice Games. We kickstarted it (just).</p><p>The rest is history.</p><p>If I won the lottery a third time, with all that financial freedom I’d still make games. Ditch the day job and do what I love.</p><p>I spend a lot of my free time on Eurydice Games.</p><p>And I love it. The game design. The graphic design. Playtesting. Iterating. Demoing to people who love it. Even doing the books doesn’t sap my enthusiasm.</p><p>I’m lucky to be here.
